usually with shure phones its wise to look at the shure logo on the phones, look carefully at where the R joins the E. if theres a clear gap between them they are certainly fakes. the R must contact the E.

another tip is to look at the cable joints for the date code. this is another place fakes can slip up.

these are obvious ways to spot shure fakes but as of yet i have not came across fake e500/se530, could be the price, fake manufacturers usually copy cheaper phones such as cx300's because they are easier to mimic and sell plenty more due to price
Ok here are the pics... anyway, the cable date is 0788 SE530
